„Siberia sounds bad enough, but eastern Siberia sounds like the end of the world. In this celebrated Russian travel classic, first translate din 1941, geographer V. K. Arseniev recounts his expeditions (starting in 1902) into this distant and unforgiving landscape, highlighting his friendship with the courageous, funny and stoic Dersu.”
